R & D by the Ford Special Vehicle Special Vehicle Team (
coilover kits) led the development of the ultimate performance version of the Ford Mustang Mustang SVT Mustang test car is currently being tested Nurburgring. The expected performance models will be unveiled at the show in early 2015.
As a typical representative of the United States Pony Car Concept, Ford Mustang Mustang this year celebrates its 50th birthday. In addition to a retro version of the Mustang models have been released, the Ford Mustang will be the launch of this high-performance models. Ford is currently no official confirmation of this model information, did not give specific names of the performance model. However, there is news that the car will use the historic "Mustang Shelby GT350" as a name.
Test vehicle used disguise huge area, including front, rear and interior, the whole body are tightly blocked. But we can still distinguish the new model Mustang Shelby GT350 engine hood height increase,
Focus Turbocharger prove Mustang Shelby GT350 models use a larger area of the grille. In addition, the engine cover has a prominent central uplift, speculation in the engine cover is provided with additional air intake. Focused on changes in the rear exhaust tail pipes, bilateral four, short rear end, large volume muffler are this high performance car emission characteristics. In addition, in the central rear adds extra diffusion baffle, the rear axle for the rapid diffusion of heat generated electronically controlled differential generate additional downforce.
"Normal" power performance version of the Mustang GT model has been very adequate, the model with the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 Coyote engine can emit 420 hp (313 kW) maximum power and maximum torque of 530 Nm, as a high-ranked volume, larger stroke engine, the engine can reach 6500 rpm redline. Is expected to carry on the Mustang Shelby GT350 models will be a 5.4 l V8 supercharged engine, power output reference current model, the new Mustang Shelby GT350 models will be at least 540 horsepower (397 kW) and 690 Nm of power output.
The next-generation Mustang body structure but did not "conservative", after many years of overall bridge plus longitudinal leaf springs and shock absorbers designed to be abandoned, the new generation of models to a multi-link rear suspension design. This design change, on the one hand improve the handling performance of the new generation of models, more importantly, the new generation of models to enhance the stability and ease of use in everyday driving. Although the production cost of the structure and the post-conversion costs have increased, but the increase brought about by structural optimization so that people driving performance for high-performance version of the next-generation model is looking forward to.
